Halo Infinite’s multiplayer has launched, but some players’ experience is being marred by a new bug. Here’s how to fix the Halo Infinite blue screen error.
Some players are launching Halo Infinite’s multiplayer only to be greeted by a light blue screen rather than the iconic orchestral music we all expect when we boot up a Halo game.
The good news is 343 Industries are aware of the issue and have taken steps to resolve it, but some people are still seeing the error. Here’s what to do if you experience Halo Infinite’s blue screen error.

Fixing Halo Infinite’s blue screen error
When the blue screen appears, it’s persistent and doesn’t go away. It will essentially stay there until you do something else on your Xbox. Luckily, you’ll still have access to your dashboard, so you’ll be able to close the application or turn the console off as normal.
In response to the issue when it was first reported, Halo’s official support account tweeted, “Please be patient, Spartans! We’re aware of an issue where players are hitting a blue screen upon trying to launch #HaloInfinite.”
Please be patient, Spartans! We're aware of an issue where players are hitting a blue screen upon trying to launch #HaloInfinite. Beta build is working through our systems and should hit your console as an update shortly. We're working as hard as we can to get you in the game.

343 suggested that players turn their console on and off then try again. This appeared to work for a lot of players. Some players uninstalled then reinstalled the game with success, but you shouldn’t need to go that far.

That’s because Microsoft have released a patch to resolve the issue, so turning the console on and off should be enough to trigger the update to download and install. Therefore, we’d recommend doing this before uninstalling Halo Infinite.
